Science and Nature Exhibits
The Look Out discovery Centre has over 90 exhibits suitable for children of all ages. Toddlers and younger children love the indoor stream, mini supermarket and soft play area. Older children through to adults will be fascinated by the hands-on science exhibits and puzzles.
The exhibits are grouped into the following zones:
Forces and Movement Zone- Body and Perception Zone
- Light and Colour Zone
- Woodland and Water Zone
- Sound and Communication Zone
- Solomon the Robot Owl
Forces and Movement Zone
It’s time to lift off! Launch a hydrogen rocket or send a huge hot air balloon skyward. See the world suspended mid-air by our Bernoulli blower.
Body and Perception Zone
Challenge your body and brain. Test your reaction speed on Batak or your coordination on the Wiggly Wire. Solve the jigsaw of the human body.
Light and Colour Zone
Have some colourful fun with Optimusic - step on the colour beams as fast as you can. Capture your silhouette in the shadow box or play a tune with laser beams!
Woodland and Water Zone
Play with boats in our indoor stream. Learn some incredible facts about our local wildlife. Become fascinated by the colony of busy leaf-cutter ants. (Please note that The Woodland and Water Zone is unheated).
Sound and Communication Zone
Clap down the echo tube. Speak to your friends with our amazing whisper dishes. Create sounds and vibrations with the resonant bowl. (Please note that the Sound and Communication Zone is unheated).
To avoid disappointment, please note that the exhibits and zones may change throughout the year.
Solomon the Robot Owl
Meet the wise owl - ask him a question - he may even tell you a joke!
Please note there is no indoor picnic area at The Look Out.
